The Bubble

These colors are everything. #ladygaga #badbunny #superbowl

So unapologetically Puerto Rican and so joyful and beautiful! We love it. #badbunny #puertorico #superbowl

Yes Bad Bunny, we love it. We want you to bring it. #badbunny #SuperBowl

Ready for more from The Muppet Show. Putting a lot of our old favorites on camera was a great idea! I’m glad Miss Piggy hasn’t gotten over herself, and that Kermit still doesn’t let anything get him down when he’s out in front of that curtain. Bravo, Disney! Fire up a whole season. #muppetsky

Ella Langley, a woman with long brown hair in a lace gown, holding a giant dandelion.

Amazingly there were two songs called “Dandelion” released last week. Dogpark’s tune is tight, but Ella Langley’s is better because an extended metaphor for a girl’s identity beats an extended plea for a girl’s attention. #musicsky #ellalangley #dandelion

If Sia’s song “Fist Fighting a Sandstorm” (re-released this week to celebrate its 10th anniversary) sounds familiar, it could be that Miley Cyrus’ “Wrecking Ball” (2013) is in the same key, at the same BPM, and has the same chords, and the same melodic hook.

If you’ve ever wondered, “What even is the patriarchy?” then Sofia Isella is coming at you with an Old Testament reading in one hand and a heavy flashlight in the other. Her brilliant, unnerving new song, “Numbers 31:17-18” must be heard. #epsteinfiles #musicsky #sofiaisella

Three marble statues of women draped in fabric, and the middle one a whole body, and is alive, and is Paris Paloma.

Best lyric from a new song this week:

“The water is not in love with the cup.”

From “Good Girl” by Paris Paloma. So many great lines in this song.

There are two writers credited as “lyricists” for the new John Summit song, “LIGHTS GO OUT.”

The entire lyric is this:
“Where do we go when the lights go out?
When the f’n lights go out?”

I don’t dispute it’s a brave ontological shout into the abyss, but who wrote what?

It was kinda weird encountering the new Noah Kahan song for the first time as a Mastercard commercial during the Grammys.

It’s a road trip song. Skippy beat, lyrics everyone can easily mumble along to, mildly but not uncomfortably relatable. Everyone has that friend.

Should I watch Secret Mall Apartment or The Smashing Machine? #filmsky

That’s a DH Lawrence word right there.

Teyana Taylor is the perfect person. Her glasses are the perfect glasses. #grammys #teyanataylor

I didn’t come here to question Lady Gaga. Did you? #grammys #ladygaga

Bieber cosplaying as a guy messing around with a looper in his mom’s basement. High scores for details, because that guy would also have a full length mirror so he can watch his boxer shorts sparkle. #grammys #justinbieber

They’re not the gloomiest couple of the night; they’re the gloomiest couple of the night *so far.* #grammys #justinbieber #joyless #redcarpet

Ladies in leather. Faux or no? I think no. #grammys #redcarpet

The first fashion that made me go “Ooooh” was Sombr’s glittering suit. #grammys #redcarpet

Finished.

I put a movie on with no sound, to go with my book. What movie? #fourthwing #booksky

I’m starting Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros right now. I have two flights and a layover to deal with. Will I finish it before I get home? #booksky #romantasy #

What’s the most withering, brutal book review you’ve ever heard? I think I just heard it, from @joshilyn.bsky.social :

“I never got to the f*cking, because I forgot I was reading it.”

That burns, all the way over here. Don’t worry — it wasn’t my book and it wasn’t yours.

Pride and Prejudice is 213 years old today. Girl, you still got it. #booksky

Look, it’s your book club’s pick for April! The much-anticipated thrillama: Missing Sister by Joshilyn Jackson, on the shelves in March! Get this one. It’s twisty.

Yes, they’re weirdly exposing. Sweaters are for safety not skin.

The Boots Pharmacy version of Emergen-C is undeniably superior. If you’re trying not to get a cold in the UK this winter, I highly recommend chugging it twice a day. Blackcurrant flavor is A+.

Same! These are like anti-vests.

Yes and not absurd like a commentary on the existential void, absurd like “do look away, dear, that lady is having some kind of an episode.”

I know I’m just a lady in khaki capris and a blue t-shirt but I’m kind of confused about these sweaters that are just sleeves and a neck.

These are the parts of a sweater I hate the most. It would be like a fish sandwich that’s just fins and teeth.
